Annunciation and Nativity in Medieval Illuminated Manuscript #2255312 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing replicates a 13th-century illuminated manuscript page, divided into two biblical scenes. The upper register illustrates the Annunciation, where the angel Gabriel kneels before the seated Virgin Mary holding a book, with a dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit above. The lower register shows the Nativity: Mary kneels beside the infant Jesus in a manger, flanked by an ox and ass, while Joseph observes from the left, holding a staff. Latin script appears beneath the upper scene, typical of devotional manuscripts of the period.
